"ASH WEDNESDAY"

Gracious God,
​As I begin this journey of Lent, I come before you with a humble heart. Today, the ashes remind me of my own mortality and my deep need for your grace.

​Help me to use these forty days to:
​Clear the clutter of my mind and heart so I can hear your voice more clearly.
​Let go of the habits and distractions that keep me from being my truest self.
​Turn toward others with greater compassion, seeing your light in everyone I meet.

​May this season be less about "giving things up" and more about taking in your love. Teach me to walk more slowly, love more deeply, and live more intentionally.
​Amen.

4TH SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Prayer,
Heavenly Father, as we light the fourth candle on our wreath, our hearts are filled with the warmth of your presence. We call this the Candle of Love, for it reminds us of the greatest gift ever given to the world.
​Reflecting on God’s Love.

Lord, we are humbled by the depth of your affection. You did not stay distant in the heavens, but chose to enter our messy, broken world as a vulnerable child. We thank you for the radical love of the Nativity—a love that seeks the lost, heals the hurting, and welcomes the outcast.

Let this flickering flame be a sign that Your love is the light no darkness can overcome. May we carry this fire into our homes, our workplaces, and our communities, becoming vessels of Your peace.
​We ask this in the name of Emmanuel, God with us.

​Amen.

💜🌷
